When I pull off my toenails I feel relief. It still hurts to do but afterwards I get a sense of overwhelming calm. Ignoring the pain aspect, It’s kind of similar to the feeling of having a blocked nose become clear. Is this indicative of anything?/ does anyone else experience something similar?

    Do you have those really small toenails that sort of stick out? I know my friend has them and sometimes she pulls them out.

          I have actually used a pair of pliers once before lmao. Enough time picking using my fingernails will pull it off. Usually the nail I pull off is one which isn’t fully healed from the last time it was pulled off so its not really a “nail” more like a tough peice of skin that can be seperated from the rest of the toe. It does hurt, sometimes a lot.

            It’ll get worse… I used to do this and then my pinky toenails kind of fused to my toe and now I can’t pick them off or clip them off or do anything with them and they keep growing and they are curling around on themselves because they don’t grow straight anymore because I pulled them off too much and it hurts and everything sucks so probably stop picking them all the way off or you’re going to have problems later
